FL Company Recalls Protein Bars for Foreign Material - Items from the Trash Can?

Doctors Scientific Organica, of Rivera Beach FL, is recalling their Burn Boot Camp Afterburn Grass-Fed Whey Protein Bars (60 grams) Triple Chocolate Almond flavor products due to the potential presence of foreign material, including disposable hairnet, shrink wrap and parchment paper. Foodborne foreign objects that are flexible and not sharp may cause minor injuries such as transient choking or gastrointestinal system injury.

Did someone mistake an ingredient box for a garbage can?  Perhaps.  If so, this is why it is so important to use food containers for only food.  Non-food items must never to into food containers.  It is too easy to use containers for food, whether that be ingredient boxes or pails, for utilitarian purposes in the food plant.
